Journal of Clinical Movement Disorders is the first fully open access clinical journal dedicated to the study of the etiology, diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of movement disorders. The journal provides a high-visibility forum for the rapid dissemination of cutting-edge research and reviews. We encourage submission of research detailing novel and emerging treatments, unusual phenotypes and current controversies, as well as translational research approaches changing the evaluation and treatment of patients with movement disorders in clinical practice.
